Strange example, you'd think you want to fix this as quickly as humanly possible, no?

Also we don't sample traces, it's a fire hose of data aimed at the OTel collector. We do archive them / move them to colder and cheaper storage after a little time though, and we found that a viable money-saving strategy and a good balance overall.

Not all problems result in error traces to analyse.

Example, you release buggy client that doesn't call "POST /order/finalize" when it should.

There are no error traces, there are just missing HTTP requests. Metrics reveal that calls to "POST /order/finalize" for iOS apps are down 50% WoW.
